My editors forgot to tell me they I were moving my column. Why am I always the last to know everything?) A couple weeks ago I took my family to Chicago for what turned out to be a terrific vacation. One of the highlights was traveling by train, a long (six hours going, five hours returning) but mostly pleasant experience. Cheap, too. Needless to say, I packed a fair number of gadgets: some for communication, some for navigation, and some for entertainment. Here's how they fared. PHOTOS BY TOM HAWLEV | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER I made heavy use of Verizon's LG Voyager phone, which, .when I first test-drove it several Jason Lawrence shows off the challah at Boule Artisan Bakery while Natalie Feneck looks on. months ago, I unfairly dismissed as a poor iPhone clone. The Voyager offers two features I really love: crackerjack GPS navigation and Mobile TV. The latter differs a bit f" \ from the streaming video y that's long been a staple of Verizon's VCast service: It's live and prerecorded TV shows delivered over the old- fashioned airwaves. For $15 monthly, you get instant access to 11 channels, Tech Savvy including CBS, NBC, Comedy Central, and Nick. As long as Rick Broida you're in a major metropolitan area, it really is like having a little TV in your phone. The service worked great in Chicago, and Nick came in mighty handy a few times when the kids were bored and driving us insane.

It's also available on a couple specialties like cheese, and fruit and nut. handsets from AT&T, including the LG yu- an impressive model in its own right. The Voyager's VZ Navigator also proved invaluable. I often used it to determine the distance from one Chicago attraction to another, so we'd know whether to walk or take a cab. Lots of phones have rudimentary GPS capabilities, but VZ Navigator (which recently added traffic updates) is in a class by itself.
